The 15-year-old male was suspended then expelled following his arrest on a charge of sexual battery.

MANSFIELD A male North DeSoto High School student whom investigators say inappropriately touched a female student while on the afternoon bus ride home has been expelled from the DeSoto Parish School District.

The incident took place Aug. 12 and was reported by the female's mother the next morning, according to the DeSoto Parish sheriff's investigators who released information on the arrest today.

The NDHS administrative assistant had obtained written statements from both high school students the time detectives were notified. The statements matched up with the 14-year-old victim's allegation that the male, age 15, touched her on the inner thigh and groin area with his hand.

The male was charged with sexual battery. He was immediately suspended pending an expulsion hearing then expelled, school Superintendent Cade Brumley said.
